The best of the #Prodly100K challenge

What would you do with $100,000?

Recently, we posed an intriguing question to our community: "What would you do with $100,000?" The responses we received were nothing short of spectacular, offering a glimpse into the imaginative minds that drive the Prodly community forward. Today, we're thrilled to showcase the three most remarkable entries from our #Prodly100K challenge!

The winning entry—chosen by an impartial random name picker app—stood out because, well, who doesn’t love puppies? But the story doesn't end there. Two other submissions captured our imagination so profoundly that we felt compelled to share them with you. These entries—a cleverly crafted, holiday-themed limerick and a travel-themed essay with visually striking photos—both demonstrated exceptional creativity and ingenuity.

Let’s take a peek… and see what happens when imagination meets opportunity!

The winning entry: Will's golden moment—a dream in a snapshot

Winner of Prodly's challenge with a golden retriever puppy

In a snapshot brimming with joy, meet Will L., our winner, and his aspiration personified—a cute, cuddly Golden Retriever puppy. The photo captures both Will’s beaming smile and the infectious enthusiasm of his furry companion.

Will's accompanying message is heartwarming: "This is my dream!! I want a Golden puppy just like this good boy!" We love this image because it reminds us that the happiness and companionship pets bring can change your life for the better. And remember: There are more than 6 million companion animals in shelters in the US, so if you choose to give a furry friend a second chance, you can change their life for the better, too! Check out Petfinder to find your new best friend!

Scott’s travel dream: a limerick of friendship and generosity

Cat in the hat themed limerick

In his unique entry, Scott H. crafts a limerick that reveals a heart as big as his imagination. Rather than dreaming of personal luxuries, Scott’s $100K vision is all about making other people happy. He tells us how he’d send his friends on once-in-a-lifetime trips, gifting them the experience of exploring distant shores.

Scott's limerick highlights his selfless perspective on wealth. For him, it’s about transforming money into meaningful experiences for others. This thoughtful gesture is a powerful reminder of how we can positively impact the lives of those around us, not by being a part of their journey, but by enabling it.

Kanchan’s Italian dream: a journey of heart and connection

Trevi Fountain

Kanchan M.'s essay takes us on a vivid journey through Italy, where she dreams of celebrating her 25th anniversary. With a flair for storytelling, she shares her aspiration to revisit the charm of Florence and explore more of Italy's wonders with her partner.

Her words paint a picture of Italy's allure: "Ah, Italy! The land of ancient ruins, rolling vineyards, charming villages, and mouthwatering cuisine." In Rome, she imagines standing in awe of the Colosseum and marveling at Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Her dream extends to the haunting streets of Pompeii and the artistic splendors of Florence.

Kanchan's vision is not just about seeing but experiencing—learning pasta-making in Tuscany, sipping local wines, and embracing the Italian spirit of “la dolce vita.” She muses, "Create memories that will last a lifetime," reflecting a deep desire for cultural immersion and lasting connections.

Never stop dreaming

Our #Prodly100KChallenge brilliantly showcased the diverse dreams and aspirations within our community. Will's longing for a furry friend, Scott's altruistic wish to gift adventures, and Kanchan's romantic Italian journey each tell a story of hope, generosity, and connection.

Their entries remind us that dreams, big or small, shape our motivations and enrich our lives. They illustrate the power of imagination and the beauty of sharing our aspirations with others.

In conclusion, we’d like to say a huge thank you to all our participants for their inspiring contributions! Never stop dreaming…
